How to Start a Podcast: Editing and Mixing
[If you missed part 1, check out How to Start a Podcast: Recording]
Podcasting is harder than it seems. You’d think you could just put a couple of interesting people in a room together and it would work itself out. But there’s so much more to it than that.
First, it takes hours of preparation and planning. Then you’ve got to get everyone together and record. Next, you have to sort through hours of recordings and piece together an interesting, cohesive episode.
After your first recording session, you’re going to end up with some unusable content. The first few minutes are usually spent sorting out tech problems.
Eventually, everyone will find their groove and start conversing naturally. But that means they’ll start saying “um” and “ahh” all the time. They’ll talk over one another. They’ll ramble on for so long they’ll lose sight of what they were even talking about in the first place.
That’s where editing comes in.
